Paper Submission & Application Period

• Submission link; https://www.conftool.com/phd-efa2021/
• Submission opens: February 15, 2021
• Submission closes: March 15, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. (13:00) CET (Central European Time)

Submission Information & Restrictions

Dual submission:

• EFA Annual Meeting & Doctoral Tutorial:
  If you wish to submit to both events, you must make two separate submissions (via the two separate ConfTool systems & links). Please be aware that a paper submission to the EFA Annual Meeting made by a PhD student is not automatically considered for the EFA-DT.

• Doctoral Tutorial & Doctoral Workshop:
  A PhD student may not participate in nor apply for both EFA Doctoral Events (EFA-DT | EFA-DW) in the same year since these two full-day pre-conference sessions run in parallel on the same day.

Job market:

• Papers submitted by PhD students who have already been on the job market will not be considered. Students planning to join the job market in 2021/22 or later are welcome to apply for the 2021 EFA-DT.

EFA Membership & Conference Registration

PhD students submitting papers & applications for the EFA Doctoral Tutorial do not have to be current EFA members to be eligible for this pre-conference event. However, those students whose papers are accepted for presentation at the 2019 EFA-DT will be required to: (1) be or become EFA members for the calendar year, and (2) register for the 48th EFA Annual Meeting (which is a members-only event). Note that EFA-DT student stipends will be issued after the conference to help cover these costs.
